We will certainly proceed our methodical approach to identifying a pool heater by taking a look at just what to do when the light in the control pad on the peak of your Sta-Rite pool and medspa heater that is classified “service heating system” is lit. (We will certainly click here wage the presumption that you understand every little thing from sector one.) This moment you will certainly need to get rid of the sides from the heating unit just before disconnecting power to the heating unit to make sure that you could review the codes on the board connected to the topside. After getting rid of the sides, you will certainly see the huge topside that is still attached to the heating system. Below the topside is a metal panel that keeps the topside in position. Under this panel there are two securing pins (cotter pins). Meticulously get rid of the two pins and keep them somewhere safe up until reassembly. Delicately remove the best and turn it upside down. You will view a light lit on the board you are taking a look at when you turn the topside over. The light will be close to a code that is composed on the board.

The initial code that you'll view on the left side of the board will certainly be PS. This is the code for the stress switch. We covered the stress switch in segment one. If this light is lit go back to sector one as well as examine that section. If needed follow the instructions to switch out the stress button.

The next code you'll view on the board is HLS. If you have a controller on the device you will have to bypass it at this time. You will should carefully disconnect the power from the heating unit. After you make certain that the power is detached, you will certainly should find and also open the high-voltage cupboard. This cabinet is a steel box in the middle of the heater. If you are checking out the cabinet, there is typically a screw on the top right side. Loosen the screw as well as the door will turn down toward you. You need to be incredibly mindful when operating in this box and only doing this when you make certain that the power to the heating system is OFF.

You will certainly have to bypass the firewall software security user interface. To do this you will certainly need a brief cord with stab-tab ports. If you have a controller and also it was correctly set up the cord could have been left in the box by the tech which set up the controller. If not you will have to make this jumper cord. At this point look in your proprietor's guidebook to locate both correct pins to connect to. If you have a controller or are making use of a firefighter's switch this is where your command ought to be attached. If you have a controller and it is not linked below, it could be the source of your troubles and either have a qualified tech fix the trouble or remedy it on your own.

You should make sure not to place the jumper cord on the power terminals or you will certainly ruin your heater by burning up the electronic technology. Use your handbook to situate where the fire fighter's button is expected to be attached as well as thoroughly affix your jumper between these terminals. If you now activate the power and the heater works with no problems, your trouble hinges on the controller or the wiring going to the controller. You will certainly need to trouble shoot this technology.

If you still have the same trouble with your heating unit. (“service heating system” light comes on), leave the jumper in position as well as confirm that the pump is on and that you have excellent water circulation. Make sure once more with your meter that the stress switch is not cycling. It needs to review as a dead short. (View sector one) With excellent water circulation confirmed as well as the “service heating unit” light on, your issue might be among the thermo-regulators in the security technology.

Given that we started this with the sign light on the board lit beside HLS, the initial food we are visiting inspect are the cables going to the high limit button. The higher restriction button is found near the bottom on the left side of the water manifold as you admit. To see it you need to get rid of the side cover on the water manifold. The screw that holds the cover is on the leading of it. You have to make certain that the orange cables visiting the switch are in one piece, connected and not corroded. If the wiring is good, utilize your multi-meter to inspect that the high restriction switch checks out as a dead brief. If it reviews open as well as the water is not over 104 F, change the high restriction button. If this does not fix your problem you may have a bad control panel and it will have to be replaced. Screening the control panel is an extremely involved process and will be handled in a later section.

This is the end of section 2 and also has actually taken you with component of the safety and security circuit in the heater and 2 of the sign lights on the board. We will continue on with our methodical diagnose of problems on the Sta-Rite swimming pool and also health club heater in the following segment.
